Tuesday nights’ Chelsea City Council meeting featured the debut of new camera equipment in the council chambers. Two new cameras were recently installed, giving an upgrade to the livestream viewing of meetings on Facebook.
Mayor Tony Picklesimer said that he promised transparency with the meetings, beginning with the first one, and he wanted all meetings to be available to all of Chelsea’s citizens.
During the mayor’s report, Picklesimer congratulated the Chelsea High School Class of 2020 and said he would be heading to graduation after the meeting.
Two annexation ordinances were approved by the council:
